We’re taking on our second ever DIY home project with a bathroom makeover and WOW you are in for a treat! Join us as we give our powder room a makeover with new wood work, paint, AND wallpaper… Can we do it all ourselves?!
The DIY Dilemma: Are We Prepared or Just Winging It?
In this episode, we confess to our slightly underprepared state for this bathroom makeover. Our first DIY escapade was a colossal undertaking involving Billy bookcases in the office. We prepped for months, strategized, and meticulously planned every detail. But this time, folks, we’re throwing caution to the wind and embracing the spontaneity. Are we daring geniuses or just DIY daredevils? Time will tell.
The Color Chronicles: From Billy to Bubble Shell
Now, let’s dive into the exciting world of color choices. For the bottom third, we deliberated between blue, green, and pink—our house’s natural color palette. And guess what? We went full-blown human canvas with a skin-toned pink named “Bubble Shell.” Because why settle for basic when you can have walls that blush?
Chasing Paper: Tasteful Nudes or Wallpaper Woes?
Enter the showstopper—our chosen wallpaper from the chic brand, Chasing Paper. The design, aptly named “Lady Body,” features charcoal drawings of, well, ladies’ bodies. It’s funky, sleek, and our friend Nate amusingly calls it “tasteful nudes.” Watch as Tia masterfully tackles measuring, using liquid nails, wielding a nail gun, caulking like a pro, and adding the millwork. It’s a symphony of DIY prowess.
Wallpaper Woes and Wonderland: The Unseen Struggles
But wait, there’s a twist! The wallpaper turns out to be a formidable opponent, requiring more than just our DIY superhero capes. It’s a tale of patience, perseverance, and ultimately calling in the cavalry—because even the most fearless DIY warriors need backup. The end result? A bathroom that’s gorgeous (but just needed a bit of help to get there ;)).
Fast Forward to Fabulous: The Grand Reveal
In a magical fast-forward montage, witness me standing tall in our revamped powder room. The chair rail, millwork, and Bubble Shell paint all seamlessly come together. I spill the tea on the wallpaper saga—it was challenging, time-consuming, but oh-so-worth-it. Cue the drumroll for the grand reveal! Spoiler alert: it’s amazing!
